Education in England – a testbed for network governance?     

Geoff Whitty  Emma Wisby 《牛津教育评论》2016,42(3):316-329

Abstract

Since devolution in the late 1990s, education policy in England has diverged further from that in Scotland and also from policy in Wales and Northern Ireland. In this paper we review the roots and trajectory of the English education reforms over the past two decades. Our focus is the schools sector, though we also touch on adjoining reforms to early years and further and higher education. In so doing, we engage with various themes, including marketisation, institutional autonomy and accountability. Changes in governance arrangements for schools have been a defining feature of education reforms since devolution. This has been set against an evolution in national performance indicators that has put government priorities into ever sharper relief. In theorising the changes, we pay particular attention to the suggestion that the English education system now epitomises the concept of ‘network governance’, which has also been applied to education in a global context. We question the extent to which policies have in practice moved beyond the well-established mechanisms of ‘steering at a distance’ and undermined the very notion of an education system in England. We conclude by considering possible futures for education policy and how they may position England in relation to other parts of the UK and the wider world.  相似文献

RESEARCHING RESISTANCE: CAMPAIGNS AGAINST ACADEMIES IN ENGLAND   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Richard  Hatcher  Ken  Jones 《British Journal of Educational Studies》2006,54(3):329-351

ABSTRACT:  This article uses social movement theory to analyse campaigns against a new type of government-sponsored school – the Academy – in four areas of England. It seeks to identify the social composition of anti-Academy campaigns, to track their encounters with proponents of the new schools and to describe the characteristic forms of their campaigning strategies. In doing so, the article aims to help place research into educational opposition and contestation closer to the centre of researchers' agendas.  相似文献

Liberal studies and critical pedagogy in further education colleges: ‘where their eyes would be opened’ (sometimes)     

Robin Simmons 《牛津教育评论》2016,42(6):692-706

This paper revisits the liberal studies movement, a significant feature of the English further education (FE) sector from the 1950s until the beginning of the 1980s. Its central argument is that liberal and general studies (LS/GS) and similar provision offered a vehicle where, at least in some circumstances, certain politically-motivated FE teachers were able to engage in forms of mutual, dialogic teaching and learning which can be conceptualised as critical pedagogy—or at least as close to critical pedagogy as can be achieved within the formal education system in a nation such as England. The paper draws on interviews with former FE lecturers who taught various forms of liberal studies to vocational students in FE colleges across England during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Whilst it is recognised that LS/GS was always contested terrain, data presented in this paper provide evidence to suggest that the spirit of critical pedagogy existed amongst a certain strand within the liberal studies movement, at least for a time—even if not all learners wished to be emancipated by their studies.  相似文献   

中英封建君主专制制度之比较     

姜守明 《淮阴师范学院学报(哲学社会科学版)》2003,25(1):63-68

由于地理因素、化传统等方面的影响,东西方明之间客观上存在着很大差异。不论从产生背景、延续过程上看,还是从历史作用及发展趋势上看,中古晚期以英国为代表的西欧封建君主专制制度,与中国延续两千多年的封建君主专制制度并不是殊途同归,而是貌合神离,相去甚远。  相似文献

论15-17世纪的英国教育     

徐煜  詹晓燕 《信阳师范学院学报(哲学社会科学版)》2003,23(6):116-119

随着15-17世纪经济社会的进步和转型，英国的教育状况得以发展。一方面，教育机构、教育内容及各阶层的教育观念日益向世俗化转变；另一方面教育资源及受教育阶层不断扩大，教育日益向大众化方向发展。受艺复兴和宗教改革的影响，加上科学知识的日益发展，在17世纪，英国形成了现实主义的教育思想体系。  相似文献
